October

Hunter started preschool this month! Our little boy is growing up so fast. He attends "The Learning Center" here in Lake Elsinore, it's a program offered through our city Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-12. He loves school, his new friends, and his teacher, Miss Lorena. The other parents and I volunteer in his class once a month and bring snack. Its a great addition to our week and gives me a little break and some one-on-one time with Skyler. 

These first 2 pics are Hunter's first day of school.

Halloween was fun this year, we took the kids to the pumpkin patch by our house again and went on all the rides and blow up activities. Skyler was a flower and Hunter was a "work man", he really wanted to be just like his Daddy:)

Hunter's school had a Halloween party for the kids where they all dressed up, had a parade, and took turns hitting a pinata. 

Unfortunately, Chase was out of town on Halloween day, but the kids and I made the best of it by going to Oma's classroom for a visit and Hunter got to walk in the parade along with the other kindergardeners. Look for the white hard hat in the middle of the group :)

Then we headed to Balboa Island with Grandma Converse and trick-or-treated with the Converses. Uncle Wayne was dressed as the scariest killer clown I've ever seen and walked on sky high stilts taking pictures with everyone all over the island. The kids were oddly not that afraid of him. I was.

And things are coming along on the salon. All the major construction items are pretty much finished, we were waiting for floors to completely dry before moving furniture in and then its just decorating and touch ups before business begins in December. I made a website called www.hairbytami.com and hope to build a clientele quickly over the next year. We hired a nanny this week that will come over during my business hours to watch our kids and my clients' kids while they receive their services. 

On another note, who is this little girl and what happened to my quiet, cuddly, still baby? Skyler is now nonstop wiggles and squeals, so much so that she doesn't even want to take 10 minutes to nurse anymore! Still sweet as ever, but much more active now. She started crawling, as of Nov 3rd! She has been scooting around the last month doing the army crawl and rolling, but now she is up on all 4s, and moving quicker every day. She even pushes herself up on her hands and feet and sticks her butt in the air, its really funny. She pulled herself up to standing for the first time the same day she crawled, in her crib. Luckily Chase was home and was able to lower the mattress so she wont be able to get out. Yikes!
